BS EN 485-2:2013 is a new British standard which sets out the mechanical properties of wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloy sheet, strip and plate for general engineering applications. It does not apply to semi-finished rolled products in coiled form to be subjected to further rolling (reroll stock) or to special products such as corrugated, embossed, painted, sheets and strips or to special applications such as aerospace, can stock, finstock, for which mechanical properties are specified in separate European
BS EN 485-2:2013 was developed by cast metals experts in conjunction with the Aluminium Federation, the London Metal Exchange and the Metal Packaging Manufacturers Association. Also on the committee were representatives from the Cast Metals Federation and the Institute of Cast Metals Engineers.
BS EN 485-2:2013 supersedes BS EN 485-2:2008 which has now been withdrawn.
CEN/TC 132 decided to revise EN 485-2:2008 as follows:
- addition of the alloy EN AW-1350 in a new Table 18;
- addition of the alloy EN AW-4115 in a new Table 18;
- addition of the alloy EN AW-5449A in a new Table 36;
- addition of the alloy EN AW-5456 in a new Table 38;
- EN 10002-1 was replaced by EN ISO 6892-1.
BS EN 485 comprises the following parts under the general title, "Aluminium and aluminium alloys — Sheet, strip and plate":
- Part 1: Technical conditions for inspection and delivery
- Part 2: Mechanical properties
- Part 3: Tolerances on dimensions and form for hot-rolled products
- Part 4: Tolerances on shape and dimensions for cold-rolled products
